Belts and hoses may seem minor, but they are essential for controlling your engine’s cooling, charging, and timing systems. Serpentine belts run accessories like your power steering and A/C compressor, while radiator hoses circulate coolant through the engine and heater core. At Phil’s Service, we carefully inspect belts for cracks, glazing, or fraying, and test hoses for soft spots or leaks. We also check tensioners and pulleys to ensure proper function. When it’s time for replacement, we use components that match your vehicle’s original specifications for fit and material. Replacing these parts proactively helps avoid breakdowns due to coolant leaks or belt slippage. Our technicians explain their findings clearly, so you’re never in the dark about your vehicle’s condition. Belts and hoses may not be the most glamorous repair, but they’re one of the most important steps in keeping your engine running smoothly, efficiently, and without costly surprises.
